I have a question about the Mini SE, I live in Germany, which has the most expensive electricity globally! We have solar panels on the roof as well as a fuel cell producing around 750w per hour (or ,75kW). The solar produces around 2 - 2,5 kW per hour. In addition to the Mini, we have a iX3 with 80kW battery. We try to optimise the charging of the vehicles, to ensure we buy as little electric as possible, when the sun shines, we load via a wall box at around (iX3 on reduced current) to around 3,5 kW) the reason for this is that if we pump electric into the grid, we get only 25% from the Grid of what we pay for electricity - therefore we aim to use as much as possible. Should the solar not be producing too much electricity, we switch the charge of the BMW to a normal household socket (which then charge at around 2kW) and as the sun swings over the the west, we switch this to reduced which charges at around 1,3 kW) so pretty efficient. The BMW also gives us an indication of the current currently being charged which is very helpful. The mini on the other hand is an enigma to me, when charging on the household socket, if max, reduced or low, it appears to be drawing more that the BMW would on similar settings. It is by far not as easy to understand as the BMW, does anybody have a clue what the charge is likely to be on max, reduced and low when connected to a standard 15Amp 230V household socket?
